I moved back to Houston after going to school in Philadelphia. I've been back for about 6 years. I'd like to meet new people and hopefully someone special. I love going to Astros games, fishing, drawing, writing, hiking, and photography.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm a graphic designer and cartoonist. I also spend a lot of time with my family. I'm trying to grow a really awesome box garden outside my apartment window, too! My mom does a lot of volunteer work at my old high school, and I'll give her a hand with that from time to time. If I feel like it, I'll also cruise the neighborhood on my bike.

I’m really good at

Drawing. I'm a chronic doodler. I also like to screen print (I'll make my own shirts from time to time), photography, bowling, fishing, playing pool, cooking, etc.Most women I know tell me I'm really capable at taking care of myself. I don't what that says about other men out there, or if I'm really very self reliant.

The first things people usually notice about me

My eyes.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

Books: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Childhood's End, Maus, (does Calvin and Hobbes count?), Moneyball, Team of RivalsShows: Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia (I swear its really a documentary), Big Bang Theory, Walking Dead, The Strain, Halt and Catch FireMusic: I'm totally random! I'll listen to anything, but I'll binge on all sorts of things. My most recent kicks have been Motown, Paramore, and now my college friend's band Cruisr (check them out).

The six things I could never do without

A pencil and paper. Ok, I know that's not six things, but I'm an artist, not a mathematician.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Anything and everything. My mind tends to wander all over the place.I'm a political,current events junkie, but I'm usually more focused on my art or work or family.

I also wonder how I can be a 90% match with someone, but only 10% friends (I've seen this once or twice).

On a typical Friday night I am

It all depends. i'm fine hanging out with friends, exploring new things on my own, or just relaxing at home.

You should message me if

I want someone who likes to smile.I want someone who respects my interests.I want someone who has a dream.I want someone who listens.I want someone with a positive attitude.

I'm looking for a partner in crime. I'd prefer someone living in Houston. If you like Astros games, random events or festivals, or just people watching, then we might have fun together. Also, I'd like someone who has dreams and ambitions of their own. I'll support your dreams if you support mine!
